some whole milk has cream that settles at the top. Are you sure it was actually bad?
Edit: looks like you’re not the only one with issues with this brand. If you keep the container you can get a refund from the manufacturer or walmart.
GrapheneOS for now until Liberux NEXX becomes a thing or whatever linux phone with good enough security, privacy, and hardware. I’m most hopeful for liberux due to the hardware and the desktop mode so you can use it like a PC.
She has openly aspired to be like Margaret Thatcher, the first woman to become British prime minister – known as the “Iron Lady,” a nickname that has since been used for Takaichi herself.
That being said, if you go back 100 years, Japan has only had 7 or so prime ministers that lasted 3 or more years. Most last 1-2 years or less. I’m not sure how much she can change, but its worth watching what new coalitions form with the LDP and also the rise of Sanseito (MAGA inspired Japanese-First party) in future elections.

Thank you
Cynical view: neoliberals are in bed with republicans, gotta follow the money and lobbyists.
A kinder take: The dems definitely have a messaging problem.
Bernie and AOC will tell it to you straight.
Business climate would be better under Vance, at least he won’t throw tariff tantrums and we know what to expect. Companies might actually start hiring again. Trump is so volatile that companies are hesitant to do anything right now, its just low hire, low fire wait it out for the next 3 years.
Edit: I would be surprised if Trump gets removed under the 25th amendment or impeached. The rules state the VP and majority of the cabinet would need to declare him unfit, then President could challenge, then you need a super-majority of two-thirds votes in both houses for it to stand. Very unlikely sequence of events. Unless something drastically changes in the midterm elections, I think its more likely for Trump to stay on as a puppet if he really has dementia or mental decline.
OP you are now a grey rock until you can get out. Good luck, if you have great worker protections as an EU worker, even better, just do your job, keep your head down. You can choose how you respond mentally and how it affects you. Don’t try to control what you can’t control. Take up mindfulness and meditation and a side of therapy if you need to while you work on getting a better job in the EU.
They’re at a turning point, and coal is on a downward trend as a % of their total energy usage, even if energy produced by coal increased.

I just manually search tenor.com or whatever gif site and send a link or download and send as an attachment. Annoying extra step but I’m using futo due to privacy/degoogle, so I don’t mind the extra work.
It took me about 6 weeks to ease into barefoot shoes and build up the muscles in my feet, switching between my old New Balance shoes and slowly using the barefoot shoes more and more each day. For anyone looking to get into barefoot shoes, there are also insoles like Bridge Soles and other brands that are supposed to help you ease into it.
Agreed. You’ll end up miserable if you’re wearing low cut shoes with no gaiters in sandy/gravelly terrain. Won’t be much fun getting pebbles and sand in your shoes every few steps with a full pack.
If you’re new to zero drop shoes, you may need to ease into it. It took me about 6 weeks to strengthen the muscles in my feet and transition fully into only zero drop shoes.
Also I would recommend looking into barefoot shoes that are both zero drop and natural shape, wide toebox. Many brands are ‘barefoot’ in that they are zero drop, and claim to have a wide toebox but are also super narrow and more like fashion shoes than foot-shaped shoes.
I recommend the Lem’s Primal 3, best shoes I’ve ever had. I regularly put in 20,000 to 30,000 steps a day in these on pavement/gravel, and have taken them up/down mountains as well (gravel, rocks, muddy mountain streams). I’ll keep buying these and replacing them as long as they keep making them (or until whenever the Primal 4 becomes a thing). It comes with a cork insole which I hate. If you live anywhere with humidity, the cork doesn’t absorb sweat so it ends up causing friction and blisters. So get the Poly insoles on their accessories page.
Some people don’t like the Primal 3 since it has more padding, but they are lightweight and prevent fatigue for me. I tried much thinner shoes but once I go over 20,000 steps a day on hard surfaces, my feet were starting to hurt before I went to the Primal 3.
This was the review that sold it for me:
Other Lems: Depends on your foot shape. I’ve tried 10 different pairs and none of the other styles fit my foot shape.
The Lems waterproof boots tend to run small and narrow for me, only one that fit ok-ish was the Boulder Summit, wasn’t the most comfortable but between the waterproof membrane and yearly waxing with a heatgun, it kept my feet dry and warm in the winters and wet months. They always felt stiff and didn’t fit me the best though. My go-to hiking shoe is still the Primal 3.
I want to try the Lem’s Telluride boot next, I prefer moccasin-toe boots like it, even if it doesn’t have the waterproof membrane. Otherwise I’ve tried all the Lems shoes for my foot shape (10+ pairs) and the only one I’ll buy again is the Primal 3.
BeLenka is the only other ‘barefoot’ brand I trust because it has both the natural shape, wide toebox and the zerodrop ‘barefoot’ aspect. Next time I’m in Europe I’ll probably bring an empty suitcase just to fill with their shoes (there’s a few retail stores in Europe so you can try them on). Be Lenka has the most styles I’ve seen and like, boots, sneakers, work/dress shoes, etc.
Socks: Injinji Liner Crew Wool - thin socks you can use as a base layer under your regular stock to cut down on blisters. I also wear these alone as regular casual socks in the warmer months.
Injinji Outdoor Midweight Crew Wool - for boots and cooler days.
Anything from creepers, probably the best socks I’ve ever worn.
Yes Fap November, let’s goooo
I prefer Octopodes
Like you, I tried a making a new account a few times over the past 5 years. (I wanted to do local things like giving away/selling things before moving. I ended up using NextDoor or asking friends & family to post on facebook instead)
Shadowbanned every time, so I could never build up enough karma to post or comment in subreddits with those restrictions. Wonderful catch-22 you got there reddit.
Finally I just gave up and added a filter to my uBlock Origin reddit.com$document to block my habits from checking it when I’m bored. I still visit a handful of subreddits once a day through old.reddit.com/r/…, but otherwise I’m fully here on lemmy for comments and posts. Which is for the best because of all the bot generated posts and comments there, along with the shills and astroturfing. I remind myself of that every time I feel like I’m missing the old place.
I’ve accepted that at most I’ll lurk in the niche communities there, and I’ll do my part to build new ones here in the fediverse.
Thanks for the info and details. I’m hoping its real but maybe its best to wait till the 2nd round of production or something, let the journalists and tech reviewers be the guinea pigs for the next crowdfunding.
